Junior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Process

I initially interviewed with Unity in May for a different position. However, after going through the various stages, I was rejected due to a lack of experience in the team's tech stack. The recruiter advised me that a more junior position would be opening soon after, for which I applied a week after receiving my feedback.

The process this time around was slightly accelerated, as I had already completed the coding challenges. Everything went relatively quickly (considering the current situation), and it took less than 4 weeks to receive an offer after my initial interview for the position. The whole process was very well organized by the recruiting team, and everyone was kept up to date, including me. The workload was seamlessly shifted between recruiters whenever they went on leave, and everyone seemed to be up to date with my application. All conversations were very relaxed, but the attitude remained professional.

Overall, a very enjoyable process during which I felt well evaluated and treated with a lot of respect. The fact that everything was done remotely did not seem to be a detriment at all.

Questions

All of the technical interviews were digging deep, and I received a fair grilling. With that in mind, there were no unreasonable questions, so it was all justified.

Thankfully, there was a heavy focus on SWE-type questions, rather than algorithmic or language-specific ones. The usual stuff included:

  • "How would you design X system?"
  • "How can you improve this code?"

A lot of describing old projects was also involved.
